Single and multiple pathogen associations with cognitive impairment in the Panama Aging Research Initiative Study [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in developing countries is expected to rise as a result of increases in life expectancy and the ageing of the population (1). Accumulating evidence implicates pathogens as triggers of inflammation and development of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders, including AD (2‐4 ...

Polymicrobial Infections In Brain Tissue From Alzheimer’s Disease Patients

Scientific Reports, 2017
Several studies have advanced the idea that the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) could be microbial in origin. In the present study, we tested the possibility that polymicrobial infections exist in tissue from the entorhinal cortex/hippocampus region

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...
